'''Network Virtualization using Generic Routing Encapsulation''' ('''NVGRE''') is a [[network virtualization]] technology that attempts to alleviate the [[scalability]] problems associated with large [[cloud computing]] deployments. It uses [[Generic Routing Encapsulation]] (GRE) to tunnel [[layer 2]] packets over [[layer 3]] networks.{{Ref RFC|7637}}<br />
Its principal backer is [[Microsoft]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://networkheresy.com/2011/10/03/nvgre-vlxan-and-what-microsoft-is-doing-right/|title=NVGRE, VXLAN and what Microsoft is Doing Right|publisher=Network Heresy|date=2011-10-03|access-date=2013-02-25}}</ref><br />
